=Conclusion=
I think this years FSOSS was a successful experience for me personally. I got a chance to speak to a few of the presenters and learn a good deal more about the projects they are working on. The ranking the bugs presentation was very informative in terms of statistics and it taught me a lot about writing quality bug reports to increase the chanes my bug would get fixed. The processing.js presentation had lots of information i I hadn't yet learned on the background of processing and processing for the web. It also had the best 'cool' factor of all the presentations in terms of spawning new ideas for features in web sites I design in the future. Cathys C3DL and Motionview presentation helped me draw the comparisons between processing for the web and C3DL and canvas in HTML5. Motionview is a really interesting piece of software and i've always had an interest in motion capture and CGI in movies and how its done. It was nice to connect a lot of the dots between all the presentations I got to see this year. ==Requirements== Your report must be '''2,500 words''' and include: * Summaries of two talks.** What was each talk about?** What was the speaker's main point?** What was the speaker's background and point of view?* Analysis of each speaker's views on ''open source''. He/she may not mention it explicitly. You must listen and try to understand based on what they are saying, and perhaps not saying.* Comparison of the points made by the presenters.** What can you say about open source in I think the light of the points they made?** Do the speakers have similar views of open source or do they disagree?** How so?* Conclusion about your views veiws on ''open source''** Does the picture of open source you've seen I saw presented at this years FSOSS were in these talks challenge or confirm your line with my own views about what open source is and how I perceive it as a community for free thought and also as potential place for profit off free software distribution if your business models suits it functions?.
